...need peppermint and spearmint and wintermint and whatever else, as they all taste pretty much the same. If God really exists. If psychics really work. Why James Joyce was ever published. If several countries are in Asia or Europe or Africa. It’s vague. Like Egypt and Morocco. Associated with both the Middle East and with North Africa, so which one?

Indeed, American authorities sometimes send suspects to Egypt, Jordan and the Philippines precisely because they know that they will be tortured in those countries...
...propose an alternative to singling out Israel for divestment: let Harvard choose nations for investment in the order of the human rights records. If that were done, investment in Israel would increase dramatically, while investments in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Philippines, Indonesia, the Palestinian Authority and most other countries of the world would decrease markedly...
